Introduction

Awarded an Honorable Mention by the 2016 New England Book Festival, Loretta Marion's debut novel is a twisty tale of mystery and suspense with whispers of romance.

"Deftly paced and richly imagined, The Fool's Truth combines elements of traditional mystery and romantic suspense. With its evocative setting deep in the Maine woods and its intriguing cast of well-developed characters, Loretta Marion's tale of old love, present danger, and small town secrets will capture the reader. Fans of Barbara Michaels and Kate Morton - take note!" Rosie Genova, National Bestselling Author of The Italian Kitchen Mysteries (NAL/Penguin)

The Fool's Truth follows a desperate woman on a reckless detour to backwoods Maine, where dark and dangerous secrets lurk.

Cordelia Richmond's dream for a new life in a safe haven quickly turns into a nightmare when she and her toddler daughter become stranded on a secluded farm with a witch-like hermit living off the grid. Each day seems interminable in the company of the peculiar recluse who begins to come undone by their presence. With a broken down car and no means of communicating with the outside world, the need to escape intensifies. But further complications arise when the local sheriff and a nosy reporter begin poking around. Both men have ambitions for uncovering the truth, each with his own private reasons for taking refuge in the remote rural village of Murphy, Maine.

Long buried mysteries begin to unravel, placing Cordelia and her daughter in grave danger - and leaving her regretting the trail of lies she left behind. Especially to the one person who might be looking for her - lifelong friend and once lover, Ramon Alvarez. Their brief reunion at the beginning of Cordelia's folly reawakened long suppressed feelings, but once again their timing had been off. Now Ramon seeks to resolve the unsettling truths she has concealed from him. If only he could find her.

The Fool's Truth is a twisty page-turner, expertly blending the webs of mystery, danger and psychological suspense with the alluring possibility of romance from a once unrequited love.
